Bayern Munich remains steadfast in its commitment to retaining star left-back Alphonso Davies.The 23-year-old Canadian international has emerged as a standout player within the Bavarian ranks, solidifying his role in the left-back position. However, following the departure of the sporting director who initially recruited him, Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidžić, at the conclusion of the previous season, Davies’ future at the club has shifted from the brink of contract extension to the brink of departure.
According to reports in Sport Bild, as relayed through @iMiaSanMia, Bayern’s leadership remains open to all possibilities. Club CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen remarked, “He is a player who has demonstrated remarkable development on the left flank, owing to his speed and character. Discussions with his agent are underway, and now Max will become involved. The trajectory of Davies’ future hinges on the perspectives of Max and Christoph.”
Max Eberl, newly appointed board member for sport, supplemented, “Jan-Christian and Christoph have engaged in dialogue,” referring to ongoing communications with Davies’ representatives. “I aim to further these discussions. Preserving players’ contracts without compensation is imperative. I must assess the current circumstances.”
Implicit in their statements is an underlying concern. Reports suggest Davies may have already reached an agreement with Real Madrid. Given his impending contract expiration, Real Madrid appears hesitant to engage in a high-value transfer. Consequently, Bayern’s leadership expresses apprehension about potentially losing Davies without compensation.
